fax over ip

I am looking for a VOIP service provider which will allow me to
deliver faxes to locations in North America at a low fee. Specifically
I have found delivering faxes over standard voice codecs
unsatisfactory and am looking for a provider which supports T.38 Fax
over IP.

I'm guessing Vonage doesn't allow T.38, right? Who allows T.38 for
flat monthly rate or a low per minute rate? Is there a weblist of
providers and their capabilities? Is there a webforum for VOIP where I
could ask this question? The last time I investigated this question
was around five years ago and very few people (only one or two) did
T.38 so I chose Vonage which proved inadequate.

Depends upon volume. But, between Viatalk and Callcentri, you should be able
to find the two extremes are covered. Both allow T.38 Fax. I have used it on
both.

I have been with VOIP Your Life for over a year now and I love them.
Great customer service and the service just works. I've had maybe 10
minutes down time in the last year. No I don't work for them. I'm just a
happy customer.
I was formally with Vonage and that had to be the worst company I
ever had the displeasure to use. I couldn't get away from them fast enough.

I don't know ... I have spent hours searching through thousands to come up
with the two I mentioned. I am considering Voicepulse as my replacement for
my primary Viatalk line as Viatalk has been less than stable over the last 6
months [since the Sunrocket demise].

Just as a note ... Vonage has some idiots working for them. Even though you
may have ported your number to another provider, they didn't remove it from
their system. So, if any Vonage customer tries to call you, they will not get
through because it will try to route to a Vonage ATA rather than to your new
service.

Call them up and make sure that account for your phone number is actually
removed.

Thanks for the info but I didn't port my number. I just had a new one
assigned by VIOP Your Life.
